Throughout the weekend there were some epic matches and high drama but without doubt, the match that attracted the most attention was the Boys u13 final between the Forster boys Angus and Max. Three of the games went to extra points to find the winner and Max’s never say die and constant returns finally won the day. One can forsee many more matches between them in the future.
